    Summary

    It's an innocuous thing. It's just another piece of armor. Well, all right, fine, it's not. It's ornate, and sharp, and scary, and it obviously means something to Sir Julien Davinos. It means something, because his father had one as well, and according to the recap that Thaisha gave Occtis late at night when no one else was listening, Julien threw himself back through the Palazzo gates to claim it from his desiccated corpse.

    It means something, because Julien wears it all the time.

    Occtis has developed a fascination with Julien's weaponry.
    Surely this can only play out healthily for them both.

    Summary

    He's not hard to recognize, after a moment of thought. Men aren't hard to recognize when you've crossed steel with them in the past. It's a pack bond, in its way. Well, one rarely forged, because normally one of the pair winds up bloody and dead.

    But if you both survive the encounter, it leaves a little tang of iron on your tongue. A shiver of recognition down your spine. The rule of predators opposing, the hallmark of territorial disputes: You're nothing like me. You're in my space, you're in my way, and you're not like me at all.

    And gods in their bloody graveyards, that part sure rings true. There is no one less like Kattigan Vale than Julien fucking Davinos.

    Julien is rising. Kattigan is falling. Two weeks before the end of the Falconer's Rebellion, they meet in the middle.

    Summary

    Julian, it's a hungry world. It's gonna eat you alive, son, yeah
    Oh Julian, when their fangs sink in, I'll stitch you but then I gotta throw you back in
    You just try and sleep, even though you're alone
    You just close your eyes, boy, you dream of home

    "Maybe I'm not me at all."

    "That's the first thing you've said to make me believe you are what you say you are," he admitted, knowing his voice was still harsh as he turned, stopping in front of the trembling young man.

    Occtis laughed despite his misery, or maybe because of it. "You are a complicated man, Sir Julien Davinos."

    Summary

    "When you said Teor is different, what did you mean?" Tyranny asked, turning on Kattigan.
    He froze. Honestly, he didn't even know if this was out of a dark place or genuine curiosity. It was a strange question, but not hurtful by default.
    "The other day, when we rescued that man from the gibbet, you said he had changed," she prodded, undeterred by his silence. "Was he mean before?"

    Kattigan is reminded of old times.

    Summary

    Julien knew two things to be true: one, his luck had always been abysmal, and two, Taisha Lloy could scent vulnerability like a wolf could smell blood. She just couldn’t resist a project. After all, it was one of her little projects that had gotten them into this mess in the first place. 


    In which, Taisha finds Julien in the bathhouse, Julien finds himself fixating on death, and Occtis, who happens to be a little bit dead, finds himself briefly underwater.
